VARIANCE REQUEST: 1101 Burman Drive Fashion Park Cleaners
Acting Chairman Reid introduced the request for a side yard
variance from Fashion Park Cleaners with regard to remodeling
objectives which is in violation of the Jacksonville Municipal Code
Section 18.68.050.
Mr. Brooksher Banks related that they conducted a market study
regarding enhancement of services and traffic patterns during peak
hours of operation and offered that remodeling the building will
provide additional rental space available for the downtown business
district. He then stated that a drive-thru facility (in car
service) will alleviate some of the congestion problems occurring
during those peak hours and briefly explained how the drive-thru
facility and an express lane will operate. He related the success
of other Fashion Park Cleaners featuring this type of service. He
related that there is twenty feet from the building to the property
line which will be concreted for the drive-thru, however, the post
required to support the canopy will need to be constructed an
additional two feet over the property line. He stated that the
adjacent property owner has granted Fashion Park Cleaners an
easement for the remodeling objectives which includes a one lane
exit onto Jeff Davis. (a copy of the permission letter is on file
in the office of the City Clerk) He presented the Board with
sketches of the proposed construction which depicted the building
space to be split with the addition of the drive-thru facility on
1
the east side of Fashion Park Cleaners and a one lane exit on the
east side of the title company.

Discussion ensued as to the conveyance of the easement should
Pioneer Land Company sell the title company. It was noted that the
easement would be recorded with the County Clerk.
In response to a question posed by Acting Chairman Reid, Mr. Banks
related that over the counter service will still be offered.
City Engineer Reel related that the City is amicable regarding the
request.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Patton, Mr. Banks
related that consideration initially is to have a vinyl awning used

used at the exit onto Jeff Davis.
Commissioner Patton moved, seconded by Commissioner Baldwin to
approve the side yard variance as requested. MOTION CARRIED.
